I know clubs already do a lot of positive work however this kind of thing should really have happened a long time ago.

They just have to be careful though as once you start offering a free lunch it doesn't take long before people expect more and more.

Pretty ridiculous comment.

Although we actually do quite well in comparison to all other ‘local’ clubs (Premiership for numerous seasons, big name players etc.) I’ve always felt very much a part of Crystal Palace FC, as a local, in a way I’m guessing most United, City, Liverpool, Chelsea fans cannot, being ‘tourist clubs’ IMO.

Gestures like this make me feel even prouder and I would suggest strengthens the morale amongst us supporters as a community.

It's not a long term solution to a problem and presumably is only offered in extreme wintry conditions? Given the limited accommodation available, referrals must be coordinated centrally by the council or specialised charities rather than an open door at the stadium ... but nevertheless, it's a decent thing to do.
